Gothic Reads 6: The Two Destinies by Wilkie Collins

The Before:
    I have tried to read this book soooo many different times. It's not bad, I actually really like it, I just keep getting distracted by other books on Cloudlibrary (my library app). I purchased this as an audiobook from Chirp about a year ago. I keep getting through the first few chapters, so let's see how this goes.

The Feels:
This started as good proper gothic romance.

The Concerns:
WOW this was dragged out. This took forever! IT'S JUST THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN; they bump into each other but done realize who the other one is. I WANT SOME DRAMA! I want a ghost (a real ghost, not a dumb apparition). I want murder. I want death. I'm disappointed because I have read Collins before and I know he can do better!
